Blood On The Line // Conference Sunday // Pastor Travis Greene

Welcome to Transformation Church Podcast, where we represent God to

the lost and found for transformation in Christ. We're so

glad you're here, and wherever you're listening from, we believe

God will transform your life through today's message.

All the lovers of Jesus, give them a good praise.

Come on, give them a good shout if you really

love them. Do me a favor. It's very important. It's very, very,

very important. Two things are very important. First thing, it's

very important who you marry. Second thing, it's very important

who you sit next to in church. Do me a favor,

turn and tell your neighbor, tell him, if you're not

going to help me praise him today, then go on

and move out my way. Tell him, because I didn't

come to be cute for you. I didn't come to

impress nobody. But I came to lift up the matchless,

the marvelous, the mighty, the majestic, the wonderful. Name of Jesus.

Clap your hands if he's been wonderful. Clap your hands

if he's been marvelous. Clap your hands if he's been

better than good. High five your praise partner. Tell him

I got a reason to praise him. I got a

reason to praise him. They don't say it no more,

Mama Todd, but they used to say, when I think

of the goodness of Jesus, I feel churchy. When I

think of the goodness of Jesus and all that he's

done for me, excuse me, but my soul cries out.

He's been better than good to me. Well, listen, listen, family,

you're in the right place at the right time. I

believe you're going to get the right word. And I

am I am beyond honored. I was honored until I

got offended. And I got offended because Pastor Mike, executive

assistant named is Mo. And Mo had a nerve to

say in front of me. Wow. He was talking to

another staff member. Usually, at conference, we have somebody from

the home team close it out. I said, well, Mo,

who you think I am? What do you think it's...

Since when did I become a part of the away team?

I am... It's home for me, though. I was like, Mo,

I was here before you got... I mean... Are you...

You more newer than me. I'm home, man. I'm home. Hey,

I brought some gifts. I released a book recently called

Winds of Revival. And it's really, I've learned a lot

about how God's response to surrender is revival. Revival is

not random. It's a response. And a wasted revival is

when you just receive an awakening. The responsibility of revival

is that after you have this awakening, you are activated.

And the Lord gave me a ton of revelations the

first quarter of this year. It's the fastest book I wrote.

And we released it in August. But we brought limited copies.

Pastor Mike came to my church and bought up all

of them. And gave them to everybody at our church.

So I bought some more copies here. I want to

give this one to Mama Todd because that's my... It's

my other mama. She prayed with me before I came

up here. And then I want to give this other

one to, is this the same, is this the camera

lady from conference? This woman was over here just straight,

just straight, just, just, just. I said, this woman danced

like David with a whole camera in her hand. Baby,

that's your gift. You've been blessing us all week. I

need to bless you. That's a bad girl right there.

There is no pastor who has had more influence over

me as a pastor than Pastor Michael Todd. And not

just who he is up here. And I get so

mad I be wanting to just defend him all the time,

but the Lord won't even let me defend myself. So

every time I type something to defend, I got to

delete it. But I'm like, clearly y'all don't know this guy.

He is, seriously, I only know one person more humble

than him, and that's me. But he is the most, Travis,

you can't call yourself humble. That's dumb. Next to me,

he's the most humble person leader on the planet. And

I watched his integrity. I watched the way he loves

his beautiful wife, Pastor Natalie. I watched the way he

loves his kids. I watched the way he loves his parents.

I watched the way he loved his team. I was convicted,

Pastor Charles, when he started blessing the media team for

messing up the video. I said, man, I got to

grow some more as a leader. I would have been like,

who did this? It was like they've been working hard.

God bless them. What a leader. That just showed you

the heart of the leader of this house. Samantha, God,

we're for you. We love you. We're grateful for you.

Pastor Natalie, we love you. We're grateful for you. Thank

you for believing in me. And thank you for believing

in my wife. Y'all, I brought a dime piece with

me today. The most brilliant woman in the world. What

a cameraman. Get a close-up. Show the people. It's Dr. Jackie, everybody.

Y'all make some noise for my Ghanaian queen. Come on, Africa.

All right, grab your Bibles. I got a word from God,

and I came here not knowing what I was going

to preach at conference when he invited me. And I

just sat through all the sessions, and I said, well,

he's going to speak eventually. God will. And he started

speaking to me, and I got a word from God

for you. Grab your Bibles, turn to the book of Genesis. Now,

if it take you a while to get there, that's

all right. You're safe here. We'll have it on the screen.

Genesis 37. You can look on the screen or on

your smart devices unless you have an Android. That's not

a smart device. All Android people are the same. They

just be like, don't talk about my Android. Hey, we're

going to read this very quickly. Simon says, stand up

for all the people who legs a little tired. Nobody

told you to wear them heels to church today. Feet

scrunched up like some crab legs. Nobody told you to

do that. You should have came comfortable. Genesis 37. We're

going to start in verse 23. I love this whole staff, man.

Thank y'all for welcoming me. All of y'all, Pastor Will

and Pastor Tammy and Uncle Scott, Pastor Bree and Aaron

and Pastor Charles and your whole family, Abby Rose. Pastor,

who am I missing? Pastor Amber, dog only. And your

muscular husband, we bless him too. I said, man, this

man neck strong. Everything is strong. Hands. Genesis 37. Verse 23.

So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him

of his robe, the ornate robe he was wearing. It's

a coat of many colors. And they took him and

threw him into a cistern That's a pit. That's a well.

The cistern was empty. There was no water in it.

The Bible is so explicit. It said he was thrown

in that mug and it was dry. It hurt. As

they sat down to eat their meal. Wait a minute.

Wait.

Wait.

You can't just read the Bible. You got to read

the Bible. This Bible just said they threw that man

in a pit and sat down to eat like nothing happened.

They looked up and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming

from Gilead. The camels were loaded, spices, balm, and myrrh.

And they were on their way to take them down

to Egypt. Judah, ain't you glad I praised the speaker

for you? Judah said to his brothers, what will we

gain if we kill our brother and cover up his blood? Come,

let's sell him to the... Ishmaelites and not lay our

hands on him. After all, he is our brother, our

own flesh and blood. His brothers agreed. Got a message

from God for you to close out V5. Simply entitled,

Blood on the Lines. Do me a favor. Turn to

three people and tell them there's blood on the line.

There's blood on the line. There's blood on the line.

There's blood on the line. There's blood on the line.

Lord Jesus, breathe on your word. I decrease, you increase.

Bless this church. Bless these leaders. Bless this word. Remind

us that there's blood on the line. In Jesus' name, amen.

If you're excited for a word on your way down,

give them a good praise. Come on, church. There's blood

on the line. Remember, you were born to bless your bloodline.

There's blood on the line. Remember, it's in your DNA.

It's in there. You were blood. There's blood on the line. Remember,

you got work to do. There's blood on the line. Remember,

there's stains on your story. There's blood on the line.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is not the hour to be passive.

It's not the hour to be a bench warming Christian.

It's not the hour for you to relax and just

go with the flow. It's not the hour for cruise control.

This is the hour where there is an urgency on

your anointing. I came to remind you as a brother

that you were born for purpose, on purpose, and you

were born created, fearfully and wonderfully made to be a disruptor.

This is why you never fit in, Joseph, because you

ain't like them and they ain't like us. God created

you differently to break some things, to disrupt some things,

to disturb some things. There's something on you that you

didn't give yourself. And so I came to challenge you

that you cannot make a pit out of your pity party.

And keep feeling sorry for your story. As a matter

of fact, I believe there's at least two narratives to

every story. I believe this in my heart. And I

believe that you don't write every script, but God do

empower you to name the genre. Come on, Netflix. And

too many times we look at our story and we

call it a horror film. And I'm not saying there's

not trauma. And I'm not saying there's not tragic events

that occurred. And I'm not saying that you went through

some stuff that's unfair. But I am saying, is that

the only genre you could come up with? I don't

look at my story and call it a horror film.

It's a rom-com. It's a chick flick. It is a

story of romance. And so is yours. Let me prove

it to you. There was a king. Excuse me. There

is a king. Who got up off his throne, disrobed

himself of majesty and entered into this nasty dust flesh

in order to redeem our ratchet behinds. That he thought

enough of you to come rescue you. Before there was

an old man that was rescuing his daughter in that

movie Taken. This man was 89 going and kicking the

butt of all these people. Before him, there was a God.

There is a God who left heaven. Do you hear this?

To come and find you and redeem you. You have

to take control of your narrative. It reminds me, a

few years ago, I was in Pittsburgh on tour with Elevation,

probably eight years ago, and we stopped while we were

on tour, and I had a friend that lives up there,

and he invited me out to get some wings. And

so I went to get some wings, lemon pepper flats.

Come on, black people. And while I was eating my

wings and dipping them into ranch, there's only one way

to eat them. Some of y'all need to be delivered

from Androids and blue cheese. It's just both of them,

they go together. Was dipping a flat lemon pepper Into

some ranch. It got to be flat because there's some

meat in between them two little bones. Dipping and eating.

My friend looks at me and he says, Travis, I

was thinking, when we served at that church together many

years ago, they did you wrong. They underpaid you. He said,

they gave you $ 100 a week. And you was like Joseph,

you was number two in command. You did everything. They

took advantage of you. I bet now they like, man,

if only we knew that was Travis in the audience.

He's just talking, talking. He don't mean no harm. But

sometimes love can be a liability. And I remember, I

put that wing down. I said, I'm coming back for you.

Don't worry. I'm going to finish. Quit leaving meat on

your bones when you're eating wings. That's the most offensive thing.

That chicken died. Legless chicken and you just half of it.

That is, I'm sorry. I just, that thing just. So

I'm coming back. I told my friend, I said, hey man,

I hear what you're saying. I said, but that's not

my narrative. Charles, I said, I don't see it as

them taking advantage of me. I see it as my

opportunity to sow. And that wasn't a season of earning.

It was a season of learning. You get to name

the genre. You can call your past tough or you

can call it training. You can call it a loss

or you can call it a lesson. You could call

that a breakup or you could call it a breakthrough.

And I have decided not to allow no devil, no cousin,

no godmama, no professor, no therapist to name my narrative. No, no, no.

There is a good God that stepped into a bad situation.

I'm not in denial. I'm just saying it didn't take

me under. Is there anybody in this room that ain't

too bougie to clap your hands and thank God? But

he didn't leave you where you were. And this was Joseph.

His brothers tried to name the Gemra. They tried to

name the narrative. And they said, oh, man, man, what

we did was dirty. We realize it now. Of course

you do. But then you ain't want me now. He said,

we threw you in a pit and we sold you

into slavery. You went to prison, man. You've been through

so much. And we're just so sorry, man. What we

did was just terrible. And we just, don't kill us.

That's really what they were trying to say. They literally

told him this. They said, Daddy said before he died

to tell you. This is in Genesis 50. This is

a true story. Daddy told us to tell you before

he died not to kill us. Now, y'all lying. Because

daddy actually was, he was passing out blessings. I mean,

he was dissing out blessings before he died. But when

you left his last word, he was like, tell him

not to kill y'all. That never happened, brothers. And Joseph

cut him off. I like this. Genesis 50, verse 20.

Genesis 50:20

Watch what your Bible says. He says, as for you,

you meant evil against me. But God meant it for good.

To bring it about that many people should be kept

alive as they are today. I'm not going to give

you control of my narrative. And Joseph had a revelation.

Watch this. That God's will is his priority. And often

the will of God, if you live long enough, will

place you in predicaments that you'd rather avoid. This is

why we must pray, thy kingdom come, thy will be done.

Even Jesus is in the garden, and he says, man,

I don't really want this, but nevertheless, not my will,

but your will be done. The question is, whose will

will you yield to? And God's will is his priority.

Let's talk about Joseph just a little bit. The dreamer's

gift is growing. And I know his gift is growing

because he only tells his brothers half of it because

that's all God showed him. He tells them, he tells them,

I had a dream. And my sheaf grew, right? And

all y'all sheafs bowed down to me. Brother was like,

we about to east side stump you. Who is you

talking to? He said, oh, that ain't the only dream.

I had another dream. It was sun, moon, and stars.

And all y'all bowed down to me. And now Jacob

get offended. He like, you naughty head. Who is you

talking to? But this was only half the dream. It

was half the dream. Because What he forgot is that

plants always grow down before they grow up.

Why are you spending your energy, your effort, your prayers,

your worship, your time, your tears trying to break something

that was already broken on the cross.

Victory, victory, victory.

I am afraid that we are using catchy language.

Victory, victory, victory. And it's putting us in.

Cycles under pressure that the Savior.

Already paid for. I need to admonish you to watch

your word.

You do not have the ability to do what Jesus did.

There is nothing in your mind, ideas, or conscious behavior

that can break all the seriousness that the people have

done in your family.

It's your time to be in here. I can say

it wasn't for the blood of Jesus. If it wasn't

for Jesus....

And this is somebody that's about to bust the devil

in the head. Will you get on your feet and

welcome to.

V5 Conference, Pastor Roosevelt. Salvation. It's in there. Right through.

It's enough. He tried me all week. I gave him

a pass. But today is the day I get my

lick back. I just need 30 people that's ready to

ride with me. I've been made to multiply. It's just

in me to do it. I can replenish whenever I'm ready.

It's just in me to do it. I was designed

to do it. It's just in me to do it.

It's just in me to do it. We are a

holy nation.

If he can really do what we believe he says

he can do, friend, you've got to live.

And you've got to live like you believe that book

is true. And you've got to live like there's still

hope for tomorrow.

And you've got to live like when you die, you're

going to step on streets of gold. And you've got

to live like you know you're going to see your

grandmama one day. And you've got to live like you

know your kids got a purpose. And you've got to

live like you know there's fire shut up in your bones.

And you've got to live like there is.

A king of kings and lord of lords. You've got

to live. You've got to do the thing that they

say is crazy. You've got to step out. Whatever it

is that God.

Has placed on the inside of you, you have to

take a step.

So if you never step, you never get the story.

And if you don't get the story, people never see

the Savior. Because your pride has kept you so small.

And your insecurity has kept you so small. And your

people-pleasing has kept you so small. and your ego has

kept you so small.

You have been awoken today with courage and purpose on

the inside of you.

It's in every fiber of your being. And you shall

continue to change this generation. There's an anointing not only

in your story, there's an anointing in the stains in

your story. Just like the ice cream.

Seeing that God doesn't skip over the stains in your

life to.

Give you an anointing. As a matter of fact, that's

exactly where he extracts it from. that's gonna wake me

up every morning and I got another shot. I got

another shot to find his joy. I got another shot

to find his love. I love you! He already took

care of the curse. So now we have to replace

the lies with the truth.

Dead man walking, I was far from home Went my

own way.

Like a prodigal Tried everything, still hollow Came back to myself,

now I know You You.

Need to know that that was just the beginning. We

are already planning to have God meet us right back here,

June 16th, 17th, and 18th for version six. And I

believe you're supposed to be there.

If you're watching this and you.

Feel that I want you to go and click this

QR code and purchase your tickets right now.

And the best thing is there.

Are a hundred dollars off for the early bird special.

This is your moment.

You need to get your tickets. I'll see you at

V6 Transformation Conference.

So he saw the harvest, but not the hardship. He

saw the promise, but not the process. And isn't that

just like God? That he'll show you enough at conference

to get you excited. You're like, I'm going to do it. No,

I'm going to do it. I got crazy faith. I'm

going to do it. He'll set you up and you

have no idea when you get there, the warfare that's

against you. Bad news, but good news. Greater is he

that's in you than he that's in the world. That

if God sets you up, he'll back you up. Who

am I talking to in this room? And here is Joseph.

He finds himself in a pit. This pit would have been...

At minimum around 10 feet. But it could have been

up to 15, 20 feet. Dry. Pit. But it falls

in there. He's begging them to get out. Imagine. They're

your brothers. Throwing you. Some of your family have put

you in pits before. Throwing you in a pit. There's

no way out. Have you ever been in a pit?

And I'm talking about you're so deep that the only

thing that can get you out of this pit, this

pit of despair, this pit of depression, this pit of addiction,

the only thing that can grab and pull you out

is mercy. And this is your boy Joseph. He finds

himself in this pit. And the pit don't look like

the promise. I call it an oxymoron season. It's when

what you heard don't match what you see. An oxymoron season.

I believe if you're called, and I do believe you're called,

you will have to endure. You will have to survive.

You will have to outlive and outlast an oxymoron season.

Noah built an ark, but no rain, oxymoron. Genesis says

that this guy, Abraham, Was going to have many nations.

But yet the Bible says. His stuff didn't work no more. Oxymoron. David.

Is anointed king. By this weird man named Samuel. Just

show up to his house pouring oil all over him.

And yet he spent all of his twenties. On the

run as a fugitive. Oxymoron. Jesus. Is supposed to be.

The savior of the world. He's walking on water. He's

raising the dead. He's giving sight to the blind. But

yet he is dead and stiff laying in a tomb

for three days. Oxy moron. Have you ever been in

a situation that didn't make no sense? It didn't add up.

And it just didn't match what God showed you. But

whenever you're in a situation that don't match, don't worry.

It's no match for the God who is able to

do exceedingly abundantly above all you can ask, think, or imagine.

Here's the good news about your oxymoron season. The God

you serve is Alpha and Omega. His Omega-ness exempts him

from surprises. Because he's at the end, he sees everything

you will face even before you get there. And your

God is so good, he's so bad, he's so big,

that even before you walk into a situation, he has

a plan already in store for it. I don't know

if you're in a season in this room or watching online,

and things just don't make sense. You're saying, God, this

marriage don't look like what you told me. This ministry

don't look like what you told me. This business don't

look like what you told me. Can I tell you something?

Even in your situation that looks oxymoronic, you serve a

God who has a plan before you have a problem.

He has a strategy before you have a situation. And

he's already made a way, my God, before the situation

showed up. Ask Moses. Moses was watching some Israelites out

of Egypt. He walked into this dead end called Aran. See,

it looks like an oxymoron until the Bible said there

was a wind that came through. Oh, lift your hands.

I feel like there's a wind that's about to come through.

There's a wind that's about to come through. There's a

wind that's about to come through. There's a wind that's

about to come through. The Lord is about to make

a way where there is no way. I need you

to look at Jericho's wall and look at your God.

and know that there's a wind that's about to come through.

He is not surprised by what you are facing. And

even in your situation that looks oxymoronic, He has a plan. See,

crazy faith is only necessary when the circumstances are not tomorrow.

For example, a few years ago, there was a church

that had a conference in this very arena. And after

the conference, the pastor prayed and God said, oh, you

weren't just renting this for the conference. I've actually anointed

you Called you to buy this. Don't you remember what

you wrote in Bella's closet? The pastor said, I hear you,

but I ain't got no resources. I ain't even got

no sound system. We rented the sound system. I ain't

got enough team to handle this type of promise. It

ain't crazy faith until you look around and say, God,

if you don't do it. God, if you don't bring

the sound. God, if you don't bring the band. God,

if you don't bring the staff. God, if you don't

bring the harvest. And I wonder, is there anybody in

this room that says, God, right here in the middle

of the valley. Right here in the middle of the trial.

Right here in the situation. I will trust you. Even

when it don't add up. It's the word that keeps you.

My God. Even when your situation looks like an oxymoron.

But when there is a paradox that you want to

try to help God out with, you'll create unnecessary problems.

Ask Abraham. He got a word from God, but it

don't work. And then it's almost as if God touched him,

but don't touch Sarah. And she start working, but Sarah

not working. And Sarah say, this is an oxymoron. She said,

so what I want you to do is go get

the slave girl, Hagar. He said, who? The black girl, Hagar.

And try to work it out with her. And Abraham says,

I don't want to. Oh, I guess so. I mean, if.

Careful, Abe. Why don't you go black? Abe go in

the tent. Nine months later, Abe walk out with a

mixed baby. Jewish and black. Ishmael is his name. Ishmael

didn't ask to be here. He was a product of

man trying to manipulate what he didn't have enough crazy

faith to trust God with. And here's Ishmael. He's about

13 years older than Isaac. Eventually the promised baby comes.

The Bible says that it's two-year-old party, weaning party. It's

out there hitting the pinata doing the cha-cha slide. Right foot,

now stop. And then Ishmael, this is what the Bible say,

started mocking Isaac. Look at him. He bow-legged. He eat

drumsticks and he got an android. Blue cheese. He mocking. Sarah.

Sarah must have been from Broken Arrow or somewhere. She said,

wait a minute. She said, what we not going to do.

I had a black lady on her child talking about

my child. She said, both of them got to go.

Abraham is distraught. He is upset. He's like, because although

Ishmael ain't Sarah's son, Ishmael is still his son. He

gets upset. He says, man, that's my boy. And the

Lord speaks to Abraham. And the Lord says, let him go. Ah,

that's somebody's word right there. Release it. He belonged to

me more than he belonged to you. Release him. The

Lord says, release him. I'm going to take care of him.

So Abraham let him go. And I asked the book

questions as I was studying this week. I started asking

the book questions. I said, God, this ain't right. This

is unfair. First of all, Ishmael didn't ask to be here.

Second of all, why would you allow him to be

put out? And God reminded me that his will is

his priority. And he's a God that can name the narrative.

So either it's chaos or it's choreographed. I said, God,

why would you let Ishmael go? That's all I came

to say. God says, I let Ishmael go. Because 165

years later, there will be a man named Joseph who's

stuck in a pit. And the only people... Who would

get him out? Other Ishmaelites. Did you hear what I

just said? God saw ahead of time and said, I'm

going to let you release him right now because I'm

going to use him in the future. Grab your neighbor

and tell him God got a plan. He got a plan.

He got a plan. There's blood on the line. He

got a plan. He got a plan. He got a plan.

There's blood on the line. And the Bible says, Can

you see this? Ishmael's seed preserves Isaac's seed. The problem

child saves the promise child. You don't get to choose

who God decides to use. That's why you got to

be careful how you disqualify people. Tell your neighbor, you

don't know. You don't know. You don't know if you're

going to need me tomorrow. You might be signing my

check today, and I'm signing yours tomorrow. Be careful how

you treat me. Be careful how you dismiss me. Be

careful how you release me. Be careful how you talk

to me. I'm looking at this, and I say, God,

this is messing me up. This is messing me up.

He said, Travis, look deeper. He said, where did I

send Joseph? Joseph leaves Hebron from his daddy. And he

goes to Shechem looking for his brothers. You get to Shechem.

And the men at Shechem say, your brothers ain't here.

They say, he in Dothan. You can't just read the Bible.

You got to read the Bible. The word Dothan means

two wells. So there's a lot happening in this text.

There's two wells in this text. The first well is

the one that Joseph is thrown into. The other well

is the one that God is creating in Joseph. You

want to escape, God wants to excavate. You want to

get out, God's trying to get something out of you.

I said, God, why were you digging something in Joseph?

He said, Travis, it's called capacity. Bloodline. Because Judah will

have the royal line, but Joseph would have the inheritance.

I came across a verse this past week that blew

my mind. It's in 1 Chronicles chapter 5. I never

1 Chronicles 5 · chapter mention

read this before. The book says that Joseph received the birthright.

I said, what? Joseph received the birthright. What this means

is is that Joseph got a double portion. Which makes

sense that he has Ephraim and Manasseh, two elves. And

the Bible says that Jacob adopts them as his own son.

Crosses over his hands and anoints them. The whole time

Joseph was in this pit, God saw double. I don't

know who need to receive this word. I ain't trying

to rap. You see trouble, he see double. Tell your neighbor,

double is coming after this. Come here, Joe. Double is

coming after this. They that sow in tears will reap

in joy. Double is coming after this. Yo, we've been

maying doing for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

Double is coming after this. You've been trusting, you've been praying,

you've been fasting. Double is coming after this. Having done

all the ten, you keep standing, you lift up your

head on your Thanks be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors,

and the King of glory shall come in. Double. It's

after this. Tell your neighbor, expect double. Expect double. He

told me to tell you. He told me to tell

you in all caps. Have no fear. Help is coming.

Watch the Bible. I looked up. how far Hebron was

from Dothan. I went to a very trustworthy place, the concordance,

called Chat GPT. And it said, Hebron to Dothan, if

it's a lie, Chat told it. It's 60 miles. It

would have took Joseph about four days to get to Dothan.

Then out of interest, I looked up how far Gilead

was from Dothan Gilead is 60 miles it would have

took the Ishmaelites about four days to get to Dothan

can you see it while Joseph is walking to a

pit he has no idea that on the other side

he walking north but walking west Or the Ishmaelites. I

came all the way to Tulsa to tell you help

is on the way. Provision is on the way. Everything

that you need is on the way. Abraham, you go

up that mountain. Aram is coming up on the other side.

God is sending help your way. You just be faithful.

You just be faithful. You just be faithful. Help is on.

High five your neighbor. Tell him here comes the help.

Here comes the help. He's in a pit. And a caravan,

my God, is coming up the other way. It reminded

me of another story that happened in Dothan. There's another

story in Dothan for my Bible people. In Dothan, there

was a prophet named Elisha. He's chilling at the house

one day. And this army comes to get him. Dothan.

The Bible says they surround, the army surrounds the city

of Dothan. The city of Dothan in circumference is 25 miles.

To surround 25 miles takes about a thousand foot soldiers

and about a hundred chariots. All it is for one man.

The force against you is an indication to the force

in you. When God wants to affirm the anointing on

your life, I'm about to turn up. He's going to

send attack. When God wants to give you confirmation, don't

look for candy. Look for attack. Look for conflict. It

is a compliment from heaven. Hey, that you've been trusted

with warfare. Elisha comes out. He sees this army, Pastor Mike.

But his servant, watch out who hang around you. His

servant got Travis syndrome. What Travis syndrome is, I like

to hang around people like Roosevelt. Because Roosevelt from Florida,

he's like, bust your head, head buster, all that stuff. Ascender,

I'm telling you, Ascender. I like to be around them

type of people. Because I got Travis syndrome. Travis syndrome

is simply this. I ain't getting punched in the face

for nobody. I tell my wife, if something go down,

beat me to the car because somebody got to live

to tell their story. May the force be with you.

That's Travis syndrome. I'm not getting punched in the face

for my kids, for my mama. For my pastor, lovely

Pastor Matt. I'm not getting punched in the face for nobody.

A servant just like me. Come outside, blonde tips, red shoes.

He said, hey, Elisha, it's Army. Bruh, we finna die.

Elisha got so much swag. He just walk out laughing.

He like Bishop Gary. He just like, ha ha. Just swag.

It's a very quick prayer. He said, Lord, open his eyes.

The Bible says, when the servant looks up again, oh God,

tell your neighbor, look again, look again, look again. Come on,

that's the wrong neighbor. Tell somebody, look again, look up again.

You've been looking at the wrong thing. You've been staring

at that diagnosis. You've been staring at that transcript. You've

been staring at that criminal record. Look again, look again.

Your Bible says, when the servant, the same servant who

was scurred, looked again, he saw an army From heaven,

he saw a caravan surrounded what was sent to take

them out. Can I tell you there's an army fighting

on your behalf? There's blood on the line. The Lord

told me to tell you, he's not just sending help.

Watch this. He says, but the help he's sending won't

come empty handed. The Bible says the Ishmaelites came with

the camels loaded. Loaded with myrrh, spices, and balm. Myrrh, spices,

and balm. Myrrh, spices, and balm. Myrrh is the anointing. Spices, fragrance. Balm, healing.

It was Jeremiah that said, is there no balm in Gilead?

Where did the Israelites come from? Gilead. Here they go,

carrying a healing balm, not knowing that they're about to

have an appointment with a wounded soldier who's in the pit.

Can I tell you, God is going to bring everything

that you need. He's bringing everything you need. Your help

is coming, and they're not coming empty-handed. God's priority is

his will. God's priority is his will. So, JoJo... I

know this season ain't fun for you. And I know

you in the pit. I wish I could climb back

there with you. I don't want to hurt myself. I'm

42 now. But you can see it. He in the pit.

This good enough. He in the pit. Can't get himself out. God,

this ain't fair. God, you didn't show me this. You

showed me the harvest. You didn't show me this. You

told me to move to Tulsa. You didn't say it

was going to be hard. You told me it's better

to marry than to burn. But man, burning really sounds

good right now. I'm in this pit. Hey, Jojo, if

you don't get in that pit, the Ishmaelites don't get

you out. If the Ishmaelites don't get you out, you

don't catch the Uber Camel. If you don't catch the

uber camel, you don't spend 10 years at Potiphar's house

learning Egyptian language and culture. If you don't spend 10

years at Potiphar's house, Potiphar's ratchet wife don't set you up.

If she don't falsely accuse you, you don't get to prison.

If you don't get to prison, you don't interpret the dream.

If you don't interpret the dream, then the famine that

I see coming 20 years after your pit... is going

to wipe out your bloodline. So excuse me, Joseph, if

you've got to endure this pit for this season, but

you were blessed. You were born to bless your bloodline.

It's in your DNA. Excuse me if you've got to

go through this, but God's got work to do through you,

and it's going to be a shame on your story,

but I'm going to turn your story for my glory.

Grab your praying partners and tell them you're coming out

of this. You're coming out of this, sir. You're coming

out of this, sir. You're coming out of this. If

you don't have this temporary season, the famine will wipe

out your bloodline. Now, that don't sound like much, because

maybe you don't know who's in his bloodline. The third

son's name is Levi.

Levi.

If Levi died in the famine, there's no Moses. If

there's no Moses, y'all going to be stuck in Egypt.

But not just Levi. The fourth son's name is Judah.

And if there's no Judah, Rahab don't meet her husband.

If Rahab don't meet her husband, there is no Boaz.

If there's no Boaz... There is no Obed. If there's

no Obed, there is no Jesse. If there's no Jesse,

there is no David. If there's no David, there is

no Solomon. If there's no Solomon, there is no Jesus.

God is using you to bring revival to your whole bloodline.

You were born to bless your bloodline. You got 10 seconds.

Lift your hands. Lift your hands and praise him like

you know he's bringing you out of this. He's going

to use what the enemy meant for evil and turn

it for your good. You're coming out of this. You're

coming out of this. You're coming out of this. There

is blood on the line. These light and momentary affliction

are not worthy. This pit ain't worthy to be compared.

The glory shall be revealed. Tell your neighbor it's temporary.

You're looking at a pit. God's looking at a bloodline.

I said, you're looking at a pit. God's looking at

a bloodline. You're looking at marital strife. God's looking at

a bloodline. You're looking at debt. God's looking at a bloodline.

You're looking at depression. God's looking at a bloodline. Don't

allow your offense to rob you of the offering. God

has a bloodline in mind. And so, I was thinking,

what up, Sean? Man, him on a plane yesterday invited him.

He brought his whole family. And Sean has been through

so much over the past few years. The Lord rerouted

my whole trip. So I could sit next to this

man and encourage him. He said, I'm sorry, I know

you're tired. You've been up all night. I said, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I'll stay awake for this. Because you don't know what's

in your bloodline. You got to be careful. When you

leave Transformation Conference, you be talking to strangers. You be

praying for anybody. Everybody getting this old. I was thinking

about the story I heard about in the 70s. It

was this young black girl, and the story says that

she made really good coffee. That's all she did. She

made this coffee, and her teacher loved the coffee so

much that the teacher made her stay back another year.

not because she failed a test, not because she had

behavior issues, but just because she made good coffee. The

little girl got depressed and sad. At age 12, she

gave her life to God. At age 16, she started preaching.

When she was in high school, she led a revival

in her high school and would pray over the intercom

every day. She met a guy. They decided to go

to the same college, and they ended up at the

same college.

And on the.

Doorsteps of the dormitory that God proposed to her, It's

her first ever boyfriend. She had saved herself for marriage.

She marries this guy. The only reason she met the

guy is because she stayed back. And the only reason

she got held back is because of good coffee. But

if it wasn't for the good coffee, and if it

wasn't for getting held back, and if it wasn't for

meeting this guy, and if it wasn't for going to

college together, and if it wasn't for saving herself for marriage,

there would be no Travis. So excuse me, mama, that

you had to go through that in the 70s. I'm

so sorry. But I don't apologize for that teacher. I

don't apologize for that trauma. Because God saw your bloodline.

He said, I got to get Kim, Travis, and Shalonda

in the earth. So whatever it takes to set you up,

whatever it takes to align you for purpose, whatever it takes,

I got bloodline in mind. I'm done. Five places the

blood must hit. Five places the blood must hit. Blood

on the line. Number one, blood on the robe. Blood

on the robe. Blood on the robe. The Bible says

in Genesis 37, 31, the Joseph robe was dipped in blood.

Which means in order for there to be blood, something

had to die. It reminds me of Abraham trying to

cover himself in fig leaves. And God says, no, no, no, no, no.

Leaves can't cover. I'm going to cover you in a tunic,

animal skin. Something has to die. First thing the blood

gives you is a covering. Next place that the blood

got to get, blood on the seat. The seat. Leviticus

says in 16, 15, the blood would be sprinkled on

And sprinkled before the mercy seat. The seat represents mercy.

So this is not a coincidence how Joseph ends up

in the right seat. He's the one to give mercy.

If I had time, I'll talk about how there's a

seat waiting for you to mature enough to be able

to distribute mercy. The mercy seat represents safety. The third one,

blood on the ground. Bible says in Genesis 4.10, Abel's

blood cried out to God. Blood on the ground. He says,

Abel's blood is crying out to me. That means that

blood has a voice. Blood gives me stability. Blood on

the ground. The next one, blood on the door. Exodus 12, 13.

It says something about to hit Egypt. It's going to

be ugly. A lot of people are going to die.

But I need you to get blood. Put it on

your doorpost. It says, and when I see the blood,

I will pass. Now, I know we're new school. We

got skinny jeans and lights and good sound. But it's

something about the old saints. They used to say, God,

cover them under the blood. You don't even know. The

only reason your bougie tell in church today is because

somebody got on their knees and said, God, cover my baby.

Cover my grandbaby. Cover my niece. Cover my nephew. Under

the blood. Blood on the door. Access. Coming and going.

Bible says in John 10, 19, 10, 9, Jesus says,

I am the door. You got to see it. Last one,

blood on the wood. Colossians 1, 20. He says that

there's peace through the blood of his cross. My God.

The blood paid for our peace. Our salvation. The rope.

The seat. The ground. The door.

The wood.

The rope. The seat. The ground. The door. The wood.

The robe. The person. The seat. Worship. The ground. Foundation.

The door. Entrance and exit. The wood. Framing. Wait a minute.

The robe. Person. Seat. The foundation. Foundation. The door and

the framing. God trying to tell you that your whole

house is covered under the blood. Grab your praise partner

and tell him, ask for me and my house. We

will serve the Lord. My whole house is covered. All

my children, even the bad ones, covered. My parents, my cousins,

everybody with my last name, everybody with my DNA is covered.

My bloodline is covered under the blood. I was thinking,

I was thinking, thinking, can I have five more minutes?

I was thinking how I grew up in the 90s

and there's a lot of young people here. When you

grew up, you grew up in the cell phone era.

Which tells me you don't know nothing about struggle. You

don't know. You ain't been through enough, baby girl. Because

when we grew up and we didn't have a cell phone,

we used to call a landline. I'm not proud of

my past, but some say I was a True player

from the Himalayas when I was 12 years old. And

some seasons I would date a soprano and an alto

as a musician. And we'd be talking to him on

the phone. And my mom, it's like Mama Ty, she'll

yell up, says, Travis! And she'll call me by my

ghetto middle name. Montorius! I still can't spell my middle name.

I'm 42. I'm 42. Get off the phone. You're tying

up the line. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I came to

make an announcement. The next time, the devil comes. your phone.

The next time, anxiety calls your phone. The next time,

sickness calls your phone. The next time, depression calls your phone.

Let the devil know, my line is all tied up.

There's blood on the line. No, I can't take this

booty call. There's blood on the line. No, I ain't

coming over there. There's blood on the line. No, I

ain't going back to that. No, I ain't smoking that. No,

I ain't drinking that. There's blood on. Grab your neighbor

and tell him, my line's tied up. My line's tied up.

We out. This is it. This is it. Joseph is it.

Joseph is stripped. That's what the Bible says. Taken and

thrown in a pit. He's stripped. They take his coat,

but they can't take his favor. He's stripped. Stripped. Taken

and thrown in a pit. Can't help but remind you

of Jesus who was stripped. Blood on the road. Take it.

Arrest it in the garden. And lay it in the

borrowed tomb. It's Friday. And we're going on this cross.

We've been singing about the blood. Don't ever get too

fancy that you forget the power of the blood. God,

help us to be emotional again about the blood. Help

us to be overwhelmed at the sacrifice it took for

us to be covered. And the only reason we're in

church today is because the veil was torn. From top

to bottom. And it happened when the Jewish rabbi named

Jesus hung on this cross. Bleeding. Suffocating in his own blood.

Nailed innocently on this cross. It's heartbeat. Forgive them for

they know not what they do. And then he flatlined.

The Bible says... that Abel's blood cries out. So if

the blood of Abel got a voice, how powerful must

it be for the greater Abel, for the one who's

more than Abel? He hung from that cross and they

laid him in the tomb. But early on Sundays, the

blood started speaking up. Even though he flatlined, there was

blood on the line. And as he laid there, they

thought he was dead. They thought it was over. But

he got up and he didn't get up empty handed.

He got up with all power in his hand because

there was blood on the line. Grab your neighbor and

tell them there's blood on the line. There's blood on

the line. There's blood on the line. There's blood on it.

He got up with all power. And the Bible says,

I promise, I'm out right here. This is it. The

Bible says Nicodemus covered him in myrrh, the anointing. And

the Bible says that the women came to the tomb

carrying spices. Myrrh, spices. I asked the book questions. I said,

I see the myrrh. I see the spices. But where's

the balm? And the Lord said, you big dummy. They

didn't have to bring balm. Because his blood was the balm.

Isaiah said he was wounded for our transgressions. He was

bruised for our iniquity. The chastisement of our peace was

a point of. And with his strength. I am healed.

His blood is the ball. His blood is the counselor.

His blood is the medication. His blood is the picture.

His blood covers. It still works. Grab your prayer partner.

We're going home. Tell him the blood still works. The

blood still works. The blood still works. There's blood. There's

blood on the line. And even in your pit, Joseph,

Hear me. Blood speaks up for you. Blood speaks up

for you. I came to serve your notice that you're

under arrest. And God has his own Miranda rights. He says,

when I save you, you have the right not to

remain silent. That's why I got to praise. Anything you

don't say will be used against you in the court

of heaven. You have the right to an attorney, but

since you couldn't afford one, I provided one for you.

He stands on the right hand of the Father making

intercession for you. Blood's peace for you. When you should

have lost your mind, blood's book for you. When you

should have gave up, blood's book for you. I need

100 people and a 15-year-old that ain't too sadida to

praise them. So throw your hands up. Throw your hand

back and tell him, thank you. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Thank you for the blood. What can wash away my sins?

What can make me whole again?

Nothing.

But the blood speaks for me. It speaks a better word.

It speaks a better word. I'm out. One prayer. Well,

two wells. One prayer for healing. Next prayer for salvation. Yes.

If you were in this room, you have a physical illness, sickness.

I want you in this moment to lift both hands.

Blood speaks for you, mama. Ask me how I know.

Because I was pronounced dead at the age of four.

Doctor said there was nothing they could do. I flatlined.

But blood spoke for me. Told my mom when we

were leaving the hospital. I said, I remember what happened.

I said, I fell four floors out of that German window.

I said, but right before I hit the ground, a

man with a big hand caught me. I said, I

couldn't see his face. It was too bright, but I

heard a voice. I said, do you want to go

home with your mom or come with me? I said,

I want my mom. He said, this time you're going

with her. Next time you're coming with me. Blood spoke

up for me. My wife's water broke at 21 weeks.

She gave birth to my made-away baby at 28 weeks.

It was two pounds, 10 ounces. They kept him in

the NICU for two months, in the NICU. And I

watched him lay there twice. He flatlined. They have to

give him a blood transfusion multiple times. But I believe.

It wasn't just a normal blood transfusion. I believe God

was doing something in his bloodline. Lift your hands. I

pray for a blood transfusion. I've seen it work. And

I'm not talking about something that's going to happen later.

I'm talking about a right now miracle. Help is coming.

And it ain't coming empty handed. Pray in the spirit.

Come on, begin to pray. I believe the healer can

touch you right now. With his stripes, you are already. God,

I thank you for healing supernaturally in this room and

around the world. And people watching all around this country

and all around the world. Right where you are, unless

you're driving, lift your hands. Healing. Healing. Miracles, science, hey, wonder, blood,

do what you do. Hey, hey, hey, hey, blood, do

what you do. Blood, do what you do. Redeemed, do

what you do. Saved, do what you do. Restored, do

what you do. Healed, do what you do. Now, for

those who just got healed, watch this. I want you

to do what you couldn't do a moment later. If

it was shoulder pain, test it. Healed. Leg pain tested.

Healed.

Back pain tested. Healed. If you're in this room and

God just did a miracle, I'm not playing. If you

feel different already, give him a praise. Like, you know,

the blood's still working. I'm telling you, it's still working.

I want you to email us at transformation. Let us

know what God did for you in this conference. The

healing that's happened in your life. Lastly, you're in this

room or watching around the world, you don't know this Savior.

you're saying yo I'm in a pit and I need

someone to lift me out tell me he's greater than

and it's my life his name is Jesus the Savior

of the world he's going to redeem your bloodline but

it starts with you saying yes To the God who

flatlined for you. We're counting to three. Hands are going

to go up around this room and around the world.

As a sign of saying, I want Jesus. I learned

something from my brother, Pastor Mike. I used to do this.

I used to tell people to close their eyes. And

then he corrected it. He said, no, don't close your eyes.

Open your eyes. Sounds like Elisha. Open your eyes. You

ain't got nothing to be ashamed of. We've all been

in a moment where we had to reach up for

the Savior to pull us out of the pit. And

you're in this room. And hear me, before anyone leaves,

you know you've been playing games with him. He says,

today is the day of your salvation. Behold, I stand

at the door and knock. Let him in. There's blood

on the door, but you got to let him in.

I'm going to count to three. And if that's you,

I want you to lift your hand like your life

depends on it because it does. You've been playing games

with God and you're saying, I'm coming home. I want

to give him my whole heart. No more games. I'm

not going to wait until I fix myself. I'm going

to surrender to the fixer. One, I need a savior. Two,

save me and be my Lord. Be my king. Be

my master. Three, lift it high. Lift it high. Lift

it high. Come on, look at Jesus. Look at Jesus

from the front to the back. Come on, Transformation, what

do we do? Come on, Transformation, what do we do?

Come on, TC Nation, what do we do? And somebody

lift up their hand, hug them. Let them know they're home.

Hey.

We're all going to pray this prayer together. Repeat after me.

Dear God, I admit I've made mistakes. I admit I

need a Savior. And I ask that you changed my heart,

that you changed my motives. I believe you lived. I

believe you died. And I believe you rose again just

for me. Please, Lord, change me. Renew me. Transform me.

I'm yours. You are mine. In Jesus' name, amen. Give

them a great shout. I need you to text same

to A2, A2, A2. I love your transformation. Give your

God a great praise.
